I'm going for my grand slam this year and have my plans in place except for Eastern turkey. I have family in MO and plan to do some hunting there but would like to have something with higher success odds than hunting on land where "we saw some turkey last week" kind of thing. I never have more than a few days at a time.

Any recommendations on a 2-3 day Eastern guided hunt with high success rate? I'm in TX and don't mind traveling a few states over if needed. I'm not a fancy lodging kind of guy. I just enjoy the hunting and meeting new people. I've been researching but wanted to drop a line here to see if there were options I hadn't thought of.

You can probably join a large acreage hunt club for the cost of a guided hunt. That'd give you the option of multiple trips if necessary. Just make sure it is a region that actually has turkeys. Numbers are down in many places these days.

Good point. I will take that into consideration. Any suggestions on hunt clubs with Eastern turkeys? I haven't done that before. To be candid, that's one of my least fav things about TX...all the leased ground but I understand why.

Check out Dan at pennyrile outfitters in Kentucky. Lots of birds I think it's a 4 day hunt 2 birds. Nice lodging lots of great ground. I think he is around 600 bucks guided. He usually books up early so may already be full.

I'd try to find a good outfitter in Ky or Tennessee. I've hunted with Long Creek Outfitters in Hopkinsville, but it was 10 years or more ago. Clint Jackson ran the outfit and they did good for us.
I know a few in Mo but none I could recommend. Pm me and I can share who I'd not recommend.

Heard back quickly from Pennyrile...hunt is semi-guided. I thought it might be for that low price. Unfortunately, the one hunt date they had listed that worked for me is sold already. Super nice guy though.

If possible, I would just try and plan for earlier next year for somewhere in the southeast.

You could possibly go to somewhere like Pennsylvania during those times and do ok. For the most part, when may rolls around in the southeast, the seasons are closed or the birds just aren't working as well after being chased hard for 75 days

I would check out Wi they have descent tag prices and lots of turkeys plus a later season. Only draw back is you have to apply for a season and their application date may be passed. I'm not to sure on left over tags or even if they have them. I hunted public land in Iowa a few years ago but just one turkey and pricey but lots of them. Too bad the dates don't line up for Kentucky as he has a ton of land and birds to choose from. Another thought would be a member here painterchick i believe. She was doing hunts in New York not sure if she is still around though maybe gobbler would know.

Thanks for all of the replies. I was able to book a 3 day guided hunt in MO for 2 birds. The nice benefit is I'm also curious about their muzzleloading deer hunts so this will give me a chance to check them out.

Feel free to offer more options as I would like to hunt in some different states next year.
